The thing about writing is that the only way to completely fail at it is if nobody ever reads it. Fanfic is a way to get people to read your writing. People search the net for fanfic relating to something that they would like to see more of, and they will start reading it merely because it is there. If it is any good, they will finish reading it and possibly ask for more. Of even greater value, they might make useful suggestions about how to make it better.
If I find a fanfic genre that appeals to me, I may go that route.
